<h3>Details</h3>

<p>The Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project surveyed
people around the world and asked (among many other questions) whether they agreed that &quot;belief
in God is necessary for morality,&quot; whether religion is very important in their lives, and whether
they pray at least once per day. The variable Religiosity is the sum of the percentage of positive
responses on these three items, measured in each of 44 countries. The dataset also includes the
per capita GDP for each country and indicator variables
that record the part of the world the country is in.
